12) Custom font—create—copy ROM data to RAM
(a) Code: NUL n NUL
(b) Compatibility: EPS FX
(c) Function:
Access the pre-defined ROM character patterns as if they were copied to DLL RAM.
(d) Range:
• The number n indicates the NLQ font typeface number when they are copied to
RAM.
n = 00H, 80H NLQ Courier
n = 01H, 81H NLQ Gothic
(e) Additional details:
• This command actually does not cause the pre-defined ROM character data to be
transferred to the RAM DLL area, rather, for all characters (addresses) not defined
by the user, the data is actually read from ROM. The only time that the data is
read from RAM is when the character pattern is created by the user. By the user
creating the character data and defining its address, this causes the F/W to re-
route the “data read” from the normal ROM data, to the DLL RAM data.
• Any previously defined DLL data will be erased if this command is executed.
• The character patterns are stored in the volatile RAM.
